A Brief History of WILD CHICAGO

Wild Chicago celebrated a city that was authentic, funny and utterly real. It debuted on a cold Friday night at 10:30, January 6, 1989, on WTTW, Channel 11 in Chicago, co-created and produced by John Davies and Ben Hollis. Wild Chicago was a weekly half-hour journey into the “urban jungle”, away from Michigan Avenue, away from Lincoln Park, away from the Gold Coast…and into the natural habitat of this city’s vibrant, sometimes dicey neighborhoods where you were introduced to surprising people, places and things you might want to check out for yourself. (If you were brave enough.)

The critics raved. Ratings grew weekly. Emmys were awarded. The show touched a nerve. Fans told us it captured for them something raw, something true about their city unlike anything else they’d ever seen on TV…And it made them laugh their asses off. May it do the same for you!
